My arguments for XResetScreenSaver :
+ we do not need to link mplayer with additional library;
+ the code is in one simple heartbeat function (simpler code - not  
checking for presence of Xss extension);
+ if using XScreenSaverSuspend we must suspend screensaver before start  
playing and clearing this state after that (I don't think that we should  
block screensaver if mplayer is not playing anything) which means more  
code again;
+ if mplayers blocks or goes to infinite loop the screensaver will be  
blocked until user kill mplayer app or closes its window.
